> If they can use the main language, awesome. If they can’t, a higher-level scripting language with native support (e.g., Python) should be adopted, since it provides the means to increase maintainability in the long run.

I think this point is especially important for C++ projects. It is my gut feeling that C++ and Python cluster very closely in terms of developer familiarity. That is, a C++ developer very likely is also a passable Python developer.

Given that it tends to take more time to write a C++ program than the equivalent Python program, the stable result is that many C++ projects 1) expose C++ to Python (via e.g. pybind11) and 2) write all scripts in Python.

And you get almost all of the benefits that the article suggests, because almost all C++ developers are also Python developers.
